107-acre lake in Ontario. The lake tops out around 98 ft. The depth data here comes from the Ontario MNRF survey of 1978, a decades-old survey (a transect sounding survey). Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
The outline encloses 107 acres, worked by 2.7 miles of shoreline. A middling shoreline index (1.8) gives it some bays to work without being a maze. Littoral water — the productive band under ~15 ft — makes up 16% of this chart. End to end it runs roughly 0.8 mi, about 0.5 mi across. Greater Sudbury / Grand Sudbury claims this one. If the bite dies, Morgan L. 20 is 1 mi to the east.
Early season lake trout use the shallows, holding in 10 to 40 ft. Summer is a 29 to 98 ft game here, winter a 20 to 80 ft one. The chart's best answer is Deep basin — deep basin, 98 ft, prime for summer. Best bite is early morning. Tie on a white tube jig (deep) or a magnum spoon on downrigger and you're in the game.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 10 to 40 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (28 ft) | Casting spoon over shoals, Jerkbait (shallow) |
| Summer | 29 to 98 ft | dawn | Deep basin (98 ft) | White tube jig (deep), Magnum spoon on downrigger |
| Fall | 10 to 50 ft | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (28 ft) | Heavy casting spoon, Jigging rap over reefs |
| Winter | 20 to 80 ft | dawn | Break off the point (61 ft) | White tube jig, Airplane jig |
Spring puts cisco (lake herring) in skinny water — 10 to 40 ft is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 40 to 80 ft; cold water stacks them in 20 to 60 ft. Break off the point is the standout, a drop-off at roughly 61 ft, rated prime for winter cisco (lake herring). Plan around early morning in the warm months. A vertical flutter spoon (small) or a drop-shot micro plastic covers the summer program.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 10 to 40 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (98 ft) | Small silver spoon, Tiny swim jig (white) |
| Summer | 40 to 80 ft | dawn | Break off the point (61 ft) | Vertical flutter spoon (small), Drop-shot micro plastic |
| Fall | 5 to 25 ft | dusk & dawn | open water | Small casting spoon, Inline spinner (silver) |
| Winter | 20 to 60 ft | dawn | Break off the point (61 ft) | Small jigging spoon (glow/silver), Tungsten jig + minnow head |
Early season burbot use the shallows, holding in 25 to 70 ft. Summer is a 29 to 98 ft game here, winter a 15 to 60 ft one. The chart's best answer is Deep basin — deep basin, 98 ft, prime for summer. Best bite is after dark and midday. Tie on a heavy jig + cut bait and you're in the game.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 25 to 70 ft | night & dusk | Break off the point (61 ft) | Glow jigging spoon + cut bait, Rattle bait (dark) |
| Summer | 29 to 98 ft | night & midday | Deep basin (98 ft) | Heavy jig + cut bait |
| Fall | 30 to 80 ft | night & dusk | Break off the point (61 ft) | Glow spoon + minnow head, Blade bait (slow) |
| Winter | 15 to 60 ft | night & dusk | Break off the point (61 ft) | Glow tungsten + cut bait, Rattle spoon + minnow head |
